Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No.5 in C minor – Ural Philharmonic Orchestra, Thomas Zehetmair (HD 1080p)














Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No.5 in C minor, Op.67, conducted by Thomas Zehetmair and performed in Yekaterinburg by the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra at the 2020 Be@thoven Festival.

Beethoven's Fifth is amongst the most well-known symphonies of all time. Its opening, four-note motif made history in and of itself – Ludwig van Beethoven reportedly saying of it "Thus, fate knocks at the door!". This bon mot gave rise to the popular name "Fate Symphony" for Beethoven's Fifth. The Symphony No.5 also stands out formally, however – within its traditional four-movement structure, for the first time the emphasis is shifted from the first movement to the final movement, resulting in a mounting intensification across the entire work, culminating in a triumphant finale. This effect is underscored by the amplification of the instrumentation in the fourth movement – Beethoven additionally utilizing the trombone, contrabassoon, and piccolo.

Beethoven made his first notes for this symphony in 1800, more detailed sketches date from 1804, and the composition was then laid out and completed between April of 1807 and the spring of 1808. The premiere took place in that same year on December 22. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony has long remained one of the composer's most popular works.

From the Be@thoven Festival 2020 in the Russian cultural metropolis of Yekaterinburg, the performance of Beethoven's Symphony No.5 is one of the highlights – not least on account of the concert being held at all. While almost all of the anniversary events for Beethoven's 250th birthday had to be cancelled owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the Yekaterinburg concert went ahead – adhering to strict hygiene regulations. DW was the project's media partner.
